I’d have liked you to phrase the first sentence as “I wouldn’t recommend online dating to men.”
I mean, I’m aware that there are 10-15% women on this site, but let’s not accidentally exclude them. Especially for nerdy/geeky/intellectual women, okcupid is in my experience a really great place. I got the impression that I was able to find people that were much more similar to me than anyone else I knew from my university environment—which lead to a few friendships and my longest relationship to date.
It’s true that my male friends’ experiences were usually less successful. It doesn’t have to be your only strategy though.
Good point. I implicitly meant I wouldn’t recommend online dating to Clarity, who I’m assuming is male. My personal experiences on OKC were also positive, but the stats released by them and other sites are not very reassuring.
